Career History

Chicago White Sox 2026-Present (1 season)

Munetaka Murakami: Breaking News

Crushes two homers Saturday

Murakami went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored during the White Sox's 8-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday. The White Sox tagged Jameson Taillon for five home runs during Saturday's win, with Murakami going deep in the third and fifth innings. It was the first multi-HR game of Murakami's young major-league career and brought him up to 17 home runs on the season, which is second in the majors behind Kyle Schwarber (20). Murakami has a .943 OPS with 32 RBI and 32 runs scored across 194 plate appearances this season.

Blasts 15th homer

Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Mariners. Murakami got the White Sox on the board in the first inning and tied Aaron Judge for the league lead in home runs with 15. Murakami continues to showcase his prodigious power, tallying four homers in his last 10 games. He has also struck out at a 37.2 percent clip in that span, and he continues to have an extreme three-true outcome skills profile.

Receiving rare day of rest

Murakami is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels. Tuesday will mark Murakami's second day off of the season, but he has appeared in every game for the White Sox.
